Well, I mean that plenty of "dangerous" combinations have been successfully managed -- MAOIs + tricyclics/"forbidden" narcotics/psychostimulants/SSRIs/Strattera/other ADs.
With my first-hand experience with tramadol withdrawal, I will personally attest that I am very strongly inclined to believe that its lasting effects are due primarily to 5-HT/NE reuptake inhibition. The withdrawal was like "Paxil's revenge", lol... it didn't even remotely resemble anything like the many opioid withdrawals I've been through (i.e. codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine, hydromorphone).
Thus, I would advise taking just as much caution (or more) with combining tramadol and Nardil as if you were combining it with high-dose SSRIs... but I bet it could be done.
